Basdaku White Beach
About
Moalboal's real white-sand beach! While Panagsama is all rocks and reef for the sardine run, Basdaku is a long, wide sweep of powdery sand with water that shades from mint to deep blue. Swim, float, grab grilled snacks from the beachside stalls and stay for one of the best sunsets in south Cebu. Do the sardines in the morning, then come here to chill all afternoon!
Go before 12 PM today. Rain likely after.
Skip swimming and trails during thunderstorms.
